More on Bolton the zampolit

"We think that we can control him," Rice told one senator, two Senate aides said. "If he strays from the reservation, he's out."
They THINK they can control him. Wow, what an endorsement for a diplomat.

Actually, it's not that they think they can control him, so much as they know they can control him. Why? Because they've controlled him in the past. He's such a staunch PNAC Platoon member that he's apparently been used as zampolit to watch over Colin Powell, who the PNACers never quite trusted because he, unlike they, actually knew what he was doing and felt the occasional twinges of guilt and conscience over the crap which the PNACers forced him to commit.
